Mijo de la Palma at M C C L A
If you are in the mood for some modern Latin fusion music, then you should check out Mijo de la Palma perform at Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts presented by La Bohemia Productions. The Puerto Ricans will be presenting Fusion Jibara, a mix of contemporary Puerto Rican sounds and a blend of poetry, which reflects the new wave of Latin music.
According to La Bohemia Productions, “More than a performance from a musical group, their shows are a creative gathering that speaks to and of a land deeply wounded and regenerating in relation to historical memory.”
So come join Mijo de la Palma on Saturday, March 26 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are already on sale but will also be available at MCCLA’s box office, for more information log on to www.missionculturalcenter.org.
